Can yogurt be heated?

Winter is coming soon. For some cold foods, people are used to heating them because it will make our stomach more comfortable when eating them. However, some things are suitable for heating, while some are not. Usually, many people have the good habit of eating some yogurt, but when the weather gets cold, they don’t want to eat it cold, but use a microwave to heat it. So, is it better to eat yogurt after heating?

1. From a nutritional point of view, it is best not to heat yogurt before drinking. If the temperature is too high, the beneficial bacteria in the yogurt will lose their activity. In this way, the lactic acid bacteria will be destroyed and the nutritional content will be reduced!

Because of the need to maintain the activity of this lactic acid bacteria, yogurt must be stored in a low temperature environment, generally around 2-8 degrees Celsius, and the shelf life is usually less than 1 month. If you feel that the yogurt is too cold in winter, you can only put it in a bottle and keep it warm in water, but do not heat it directly. Tips for drinking yogurt 1. The best time to drink yogurt is 2 hours after a meal, because the pH value of gastric juice rises after a meal. This environment is very suitable for the growth of lactic acid bacteria, which can fully exert the nutrients of yogurt.

2. Of course, if you just want to satisfy your appetite, you can heat it up!

It’s your choice!

Precautions for drinking yogurt: Don’t drink yogurt on an empty stomach! The active lactic acid bacteria in yogurt can only grow when the pH value is above 4, and the pH value is below 2 when the stomach is empty, so the lactic acid bacteria will be killed by stomach acid and the nutritional value will be greatly reduced.

In life, we cannot avoid drinking yogurt when the weather is cold. Let us learn that although yogurt is a more delicious probiotic, if we don’t know the little common sense about yogurt, we will have many misunderstandings. We must pay attention to the shelf life of yogurt, which is very short. It is best to consume it before the expiration date.
